Four Ways to Hang Custom Drapery
Style 1: Traditional Rods and Rings
You know what they say—if it's not broken, don't fix it! Rods and rings are a classic choice for hanging custom drapery in homes that adore a traditional look. A decorative curtain rod, usually made of wood, metal, or acrylic, is attached to the wall or window frame. Curtain rings, often matching the rod's finish, are threaded onto the rod, and the drapery panels are clipped to the rings. This method allows for easy opening and closing of the drapery and adds a touch of elegance to your window treatments.
Style 2: Grommet Top
If you'd prefer a modern, clean look for your custom drapery, we recommend a grommet-top. This style features metal grommets, which are large eyelets inserted into the drapery's fabric. The grommets are evenly spaced along the top of the panel and slide directly onto a decorative curtain rod. Grommet-top drapery panels create soft, even folds and are easy to open and close. This method is ideal for contemporary and minimalist interiors.
Style 3: Tab Top
Why choose between casual and sophisticated when you can have a little bit of both? Tab-top custom drapery adds a touch of casual sophistication to your space with its fabric loops (tabs) sewn onto the top. A decorative curtain rod is then threaded through the loops. Tab-top drapery panels create a relaxed and unstructured look, making them suitable for more informal and cozy room settings. This style allows for easy adjustment of the drapery.
Style 4: Pleated Drapes
Pleated drapes offer a more formal, tailored appearance in homes. This makes them excellent for spaces like dining rooms, which often require an elevated feel. They feature pleats sewn into the top of the drapery panels, which are then attached to a traverse rod or decorative curtain rod. The pleats create a structured and classic look, making pleated drapes an excellent choice for traditional and elegant interior designs. These drapes can be opened and closed using a cord or a wand for convenience.
